Kirsten Berger from University of Kaiserslautern, Kaiserslautern, Germany will talk about "Activity guided fractionation of red fruit juices to identify α amylase and α glucosidase inhibitors in vitro" during the 12th World Congress on Polyphenols Applications: Bonn Polyphenols 2018 which will be held at the University of Bonn, Germany in September 25-28, 2018.

The inhibitory potential of polyphenols against enzymes of the carbohydrate metabolism, such as α‑amylase and α‑glucosidase has been described in some studies. A rich source of polyphenols, especially anthocyanins are red fruits. Our studies examined the in vitro inhibitory activity of extracts and fractions prepared from juices, concentrates, and purees against α‑amylase and α‑glucosidase.
